David trueba seems to have fictionalized the script of a still unpublished film, a road movie which has taken the reverse path of the typical book-movie process. But of course, only a film director can go through this process in the opposite direction film - book and that, in addition, it turns out well.
Although time to time. Perhaps soon we will see that road movie aboard the same hearse that the novel presents us with, where a son accompanies his father to give him land. In the first pages that image already predisposes the reader to consider that the indicated son, dani fly, is a singular type.
The fact of accompanying his father to his funeral, in the very hearse, along with a singular chauffeur who offers him the most inopportune range of conversations for someone from his union, is tracing that idea of Daniel as a guy with the gift for find yourself the grotesque in all circumstances, because that kind of people exist. This Daniel, like all daniel in the world, move in search of confusion, of the annoyance of ambiguity and they end up finding it all together.
It may seem that Daniel is a chaotic, strange type, surely you will already imagine in him a black, transgressive, acid humor. You are not wrong at all.
But the best of all is that meeting Daniel, in that universe as peculiar as it is attractive of Danish types, ends up discovering the grace of life between disappointment, the joy of living between disorder, the love between chance and best words between the chords of music.
